"I often wish I have a decent communication with my people when I closely interact with them. Unfortunately most of the times, I end up either
- Asserting myself more which would have been never required in the situation or
- The other party taking over the situation insisting me to accept their stand
- Either of us becoming unnecessarily silent for a long time thru' an inevitable hurt in the minds which is never a healthy sign or
- Getting into subsequent heated arguments which finally lead nowhere except losing energies and involving in a certain physical hurt..
"Dear! I understand what you say and there's sure a way out here to avoid all such conflicts in our active day to day communications..
Let me talk of only the active communication aspects with members in close circles or with those in circles even though not close can't get away as they have to invariably live face to face from the next moment of any tussle too..
In respect of totally outsiders, many times it's never a big problem as even if uncomfortable the person in discussion surely will smile and quickly get off from the scene as it well known that that is the best way..
Ultimately as peace of mind is the most important thing in life, a solution in this direction is a must and that is truly possible in any active communication with a close member if all along I remember,
- My purpose of being in discussion / communication with the member max avoiding such talks where there is no purpose to be met from my side..
- The requirement of being crisp and to the point in my communication without carrying a proud feeling within or an imposing talk from my end to achieve quick results and
- Myself getting into the required actions from my end making way for my advising to materialize and thus close the issue unless the other party asks for further details..
- Listen with all interest and try to accept it,
- Just listen for listening sake and never bother more than that or
- Straight away protest feeling that as an imposition..
- If explanation is asked, I should just repeat what I have said,
- If silence prevails, I should smile and be ready to face that silence or
- If challenged and forcibly pulled into an argument, I should just bear it remaining calm..

The topic is essential as well as something we need to use efficiently as well as effectively. Your opening section very well portrays our communication scene. We all fall here. There are many things involved in communication- interpersonal communication skills, communication loop, people involved in communication, their personalities etc. Making all these things fall right everytime is a miracle. But as your post suggest we should strive to attain this always. We should look for peace of mind.
